If autumn could be personified I think I would have done a good impression when I arrived at work today. My hair had been blown into a birds nest type effect complete with bits of twigs and leafs while my cheeks had, what one kind colleague called, a rosy complexion, (what he actually meant was windburnt red) and my coat has this season’s essential accessory stuck in the hood – half a conker case. My new look didn’t have anything to do with the minor earthquake which struck Britain last night but actually the near gale force cold wind which came out of no where in an otherwise beautiful autumn day.
